Velocity PRX™

Low-Resolution Proxy Editor

Velocity PRX™

Velocity PRX™ is a proxy editor based on the intuitive Velocity™ user interface. As part of the comprehensive Nexio® Global Proxy system, Velocity PRX allows frame-accurate editing of the mirrored, low-resolution proxy versions of high resolution content resident in Nexio shared storage. Proxy browsing and editing can take place whilst media is being recorded, without having to wait for the recording to end or for low resolution proxy versions to be created. Velocity PRX connects to the Nexio Global Proxy system through a standard house LAN, allowing all licensed editors to operate simultaneously.

Fully MOS-compliant, Velocity PRX is a component of the NewsForce™ HD/SD news platform. The editor integrates with all popular newsroom computer systems (NRCS), including AP ENPS® and Avid iNEWS®. This sophisticated integration enables journalists to tie rundowns and scripts to finished edits, and time shots and voice-overs to the read rates of presenters.

Velocity PRX is used in conjunction with the time-saving Nexio® InstantOnline™ server to automatically conform finished high-resolution copies on the SAN. These finished clips are saved into existing placeholder IDs made earlier from the NRCS, at which time they are immediately available for play to air. Velocity PRX projects can also be opened and edited on the high-resolution Velocity ESX™ on-SAN editor or Final Cut Pro®, which offer enhanced layering and effects capability.

Velocity PRX uses the latest in compressed video and audio codecs to maximize system bandwidth, while ensuring frame-accurate edits when conformed back to high resolution. Cuts, wipes and dissolves can be performed on two video tracks; audio level adjustments, cross fades and rubber banding can be performed on up to 16 audio tracks.
